The Bag Lady

This country is going downhill with our Congress people just out for themselves instead of the basic principles of the way our country was started , as in For the people! Not for Myself to see how I can benefit.
Of course the radical people are either completely clueless, ignorant, or maybe brainwashed. The facts are out there, that is if they can read or see. Just ridiculous!
My favorite is the jerk who said the riot was not a riot, just people on a tourist visit. It would be almost laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous to know these people actually hold a position of power in a government seat in Congress.

Done for now but I promise I’ll be back.

Bronchitis has been my nemesis for the last two weeks, so my blogging has taken a dive. I watched this movie on Friday and recommend it, “Bandits”.

This probably doesn’t fit as a prompt response but since I just watched a true story about an incredible group of people, I had to find a place to post it. It is the story of many outstanding soldiers, most not in uniform— “The 12th Man”. If you decide to watch it I’m sure you won’t be disappointed and will marvel at the strength of each man and woman depicted.

Sylvia did not start out to live a wanton life, she merely thought she was owed something. Her parents certainly were indebted to her, only engrossed in their careers, and social status. Sylvia was a piece of the puzzle, for show. Sylvia’s life was based on showmanship, until eighteen when she decided the performance as parents’ perfect child was done.

Proceed to the next checkpoint, please. Yes, present yourself to the skinny one in the sky hued uniform; next, roll up your sleeve for the shot and return to me to sit by my side for 15 minutes.

As I have spent a lot of time alone this past year as many of us have, I feel the only growth I experience is in the realization I have too much old stuff hanging around and need to curb any growth of more stuff! I have two storage units – one from our move from TX in 1990s and one from my move in CO from 2014. I cannot even remember most of what is in the older one! 😒🥴

I looked out front, I looked out back because for curiosity I have no lack.

The sound I heard made my heart freeze, like an unexpected sneeze. But then I saw it lying there, and my heart melted, raw and bare.

Such a tiny creature flew into my window glass—I gathered it up, and placed the bird on the softest grass.

“Well, call me what you want, buddy, but I’m nothing special, I just like to live by myself.” The reporter set his notebook on the small pine table and took a sip of tea offered by his host.
“I’m not here to put a label on your lifestyle, but my editor heard you have an interesting background and I would like to write about it.”
“About me? There’s nothing interesting here for your readers. They don’t want to know about an old guy like me! Besides, who reads newspapers anymore?”
